Today I do not know whether to laugh or cry. The leading story on the news I watched was that of our commander in chief, Cadet Bone Spurs, wanting a military parade. I speak from experience, perhaps dated, but I am sure it is the same today – an enlisted man hates a ...

Editor:
So the baby boy wants a pretty parade! Friends, this is so childish! Ordinance and military weapons are, by definition, ugly. A parade will not make them any less ugly.
The whole world knows we have a huge stockpile of weapons. Parading them will not change anything – ...

Editor:
I agree 100 percent that Warren County teachers should be adequately paid.
I do not, however, agree with the superintendent's view that the school district has spent money wisely. I suggest he look at the mostly unused fleet of relatively new Chevy Suburban SUVs in the district's bus ...

The Federal Equal Rights Amendment is alive and well, and on the cusp of final ratification. In Virginia, our state constitution provides equal rights: if a woman works as well as a man, she is entitled to comparable legal rights. Yet we do not have a federal Equal Rights ...

In the 1960s and early 70s, I was a committed liberal and opposed FBI and CIA efforts to put an end to Vietnam War protests.
Now in my 70s, I remain a committed liberal, but my allegiance to the FBI, the intelligence community and the Justice Department roles in investigating ...

Editor:
So the child in the White House declares in the sacred State of the Union message that all people deserve respect.
Well, I'll be.
I am shocked that such words could come out of his mouth without a thunder bolt blasting him from the chamber because he's a man who shows little to no ...

Virginia is one of 18 states that has chosen not to expand Medicaid. Because of this partisan decision, Virginia has forfeited $4.6 million a day, or $2.6 billion per year, in federal funds. Keeping that much money in our state should be an issue everyone in Richmond can agree ...

We are two students writing on behalf of the Peter Muhlenberg Middle School Sixth Grade Gifted and Talented Program.
We would like to inform the public about the #WeRemember campaign. Our teacher recently showed our class a video about nine women who survived the Holocaust. They spoke ...

After more than a year, the constant resistance and uproar from anti-Trump fanatics attempting to destroy his presidency has failed to generate enough political dirt and deceitful spin to change the outcome of his election. Seasoned and politically powerful leaders like Chuck Schumer ...

Editor:
I hope my Senators Kaine and Warner are listening, as well as Congresswoman Barbara Comstock. We need your help to pass a permanent therapy cap fix.
As it stands Congress only approved a $2,000 annual cap on physical therapy care. Unlike years past , Congress did not include the ...

Editor:
Like many Christendom College alumni, I have been disturbed and outraged at the news coming to light recently: multiple women reporting that they were sexually assaulted (some on campus, some off campus, usually by male students) and were met by indifference and callousness by a ...

Editor:
If I had a son or daughter who suddenly began to call people names because that son/daughter no longer agreed with the other person, I would not stand behind that child with a triumphant smile on my face. No, I am an adult.
First, I would chastise the child, explaining that ...

Editor:
It was with great sadness that I read the news coverage of Trump disparaging African and Latin American countries by wondering why we had to accept immigrants from "s---hole countries."
Vulgarity aside, his sentiment is the antithesis of the ideals upon which this nation was founded. ...

Editor:
Tattletail, rat, narc and snitch are some of the names used by guilty people to keep people from coning forward about that they know. Making little children keep quiet by calling them a tattletail starts in kindergarten.
This year many women have been coming forward claiming to have ...

Editor:
It appears our FBI and perhaps the Justice Department, operating under Barack Obama, has indeed been compromised.
This means we are truly a “third world country.” The left (Democrats who aid and abet) have chosen this method to destroy what is left of our system of government and, ...

Editor:
Jonah Goldberg’s piece, “Jonah Goldberg: Trump puts fact ahead of fiction in Israel,” is an excellent article – it really covers all the bases. His critique of journalists is timeless.
Reporters during the Vietnam War sported military jackets and hung out at the hotel bar ...

Hey, all you hard-working retirees out there – how’s your Social Security 2 percent, cost-of-living raise working out for you?
Our government has just sneaked another one in on us. Without a word of warning, they’ve raised the cost of Medicare by at least 22 percent. Most of us ...

It will not happen in my lifetime but one day abortion will be totally illegal. People will recognize that abortion is murder and that it is not a woman's right to end her pregnancy – to control her body. There is another body involved. Many believe the baby is not a human until ...

Editor:
I am dismayed to see our 6th Congressional District Representative Bob Goodlatte, televised leading his committee in the investigation of "inner bias" regarding the FBI. As chair of the Judiciary Committee, we can presume that Goodlatte is responsible for the hearing as well as ...

​Editor:
After reading the last of the three opinion pieces by Andy Schmookler, we are led to believe that what is wrong with America is that conservatives are mean to liberals. Apparently he has either not been paying attention to, or has chosen to ignore, the vitriolic hatred fomented by ...
